tECLARES ELOCADE
OE GERMAN COAST;

R:K I> COli.MIL Mli.M U is J
KING GEORGE.
mces . Definite . Terms. Under
ieh She Expects to Hold Shipping
Away From Neighbor.
don, March 15.?Great Britain j
known to the world today in a'
1 proclamation signed in council
j king and issued from Bucking- ;
ham palace, how she proposes to cover '
k the arteries of sea commerce to and
from Germany during the war.
The term "blockade" is not used, and j
no prohibited area is defined. Nevertheless,
the text of the order makes
piam jemgiana s purpuse iu pic*cjn!
commodities cf any kind from reaching
or leaving Germany during ther.
i
war. ,
y British officials tonight frankly
called the movement a blockade, the
foreign office describing it as an ef- j
fective blockade, differing from the ef- j
fective blockades of history only in i
that t! e property seized will not be
confiscated outright, but sold, the pro-1
ceeds eventually going to the owners, i
l Hits Germany Only.
' The last clause of the proclamation
contains the proposal most interesting
to neutrals, mis is a nax agrtjeuitMii
to fight the "blockade" in case any nation
will certify that the ships flying
it? flag shall not carry goods to Germany
or goods originating therein or
goods belonging to t! e subjects of the
German empire. It is notable that the
order declares no intention, to cap4
ture ships proceeding to and -from the
countries of Germany's allies, Austria
and iTurkey, t':e reason being no doubt,
that the measure is avowedly a re

warfare.
A cordon of ships will be maintained
to shut off the commerce cf German
ports and regulate trade in the war
zone, although ships voyaging eastward
across the Atlantic will, it is expected,
be seized before they reach t'w
North Sea.
to >eize tarsro Aione.
When a neutral vessel is held up, in
all cases except where there is a false
declaration of destination or other attempt
at subterfuge, the cargo only
will be seized.
A copy of t! e 01 dor in council was
handed to the American ambassador
ton i gi'it.
The foreign office emphasizes the
fact that wide discretion is allowed
prize court officials handling neutral
claims and that instructions will bo
given these men to act with the greatest
dispatc: consistent with the proper'
performance of treir tasks.
The foreign office hao called attention
from the first announcement of
the reprisals policy to the fact that
the regulations are not inflexible
where the rights of neutrals are con
cerned.
^ While t! e order is absolute in so far
as s^ips to and from German ports
are concerned, using the word "must"
in stipulating how goods shall be discharged
at English ports, the provi- j
sions concerning cargoes destined for j
<nooitri?l Twrtc spf fnrth that they !
"may be required to discharge" at
British ports.
This language is typical of tbe general
attitude of British officials toward
neutral trade.

Georgia, ti e Southern railway has decided
to have honeysuckle planted |
along its railway embankments.1
This step is one which can be com- j
mended for several reasons. Honeysuckle
will prevent washing of the!
embankments; it will make the danger
of fires Jess pronounced, for it is not j
go combustible in the winter season a? j
is grass and miscellaneous vegetable
I growth, and finally, the honeysuckleclad
embankments will be no small addition
to ti' e beauty of landscapes. A
railroad embankment is not a work of
ocular art, and especially is there no
pleasure derived from gazing upon it,
when it is bare, or wthen a mongrel
growth off weeds and grass has sprung

That nospitals, public cr charitable,
retail drug stores, medical cr pharmaceutical
colleges can not order more
than a gallon of alcohol a month for
either scientific or medical uses is t'. e
opinion of ti e attorney general's office
contained in a letter addressed to
a Charleston drug manufacturing con
cern Dy ivrea. h. uominicK, assistant
attorney general. The opinion, however,
states that it probably was not
the intention of the legislature to prohibit
such institutions and businesses
from obtaining alcc-ol. and that tl e
courts, if the ac-t is tested, most probably
would take into con.-:i:i< * at ion the
intent o. the law-making boiv.
The opinion is of importance, for it
might hamper the physicians oi' the
State in the exercise of t! eir duty. It
follows:
"I am in receipt of yours of the 13th
instant, in which you say. witfr
reference to the recent law enacted.
"A gallon a month/' will you p'ease

Sand manufacturing druggists, are we

"In reply thereto I will say that in
my opinion it was the intention of the
; legislature in tl e passage of the 'gallon
a monti'i act,' that the sale or
; transportation of alcohol should remain
as now allowed by law. HowI
: ever, the wording of the act is con!
fusing.

'Nothing herein contained shall prevent
the sale or transportation of al'
cci ol under and in accordance with
it e statutes of this State as contained
' in criminal code of 1912, Sections 799
800, 802 to 812, inclusive.'
; "Section 799 of the code permits
retail druggists to lawfully sell alco:
hoi in quantities not greater than five
: gallons to be used in the arts or for
scientific or chemical purposes. Like
quantities to chemists and bacteriolo!
gists engaged, in scientific work and
! for such purposes only, and in quantii
ties not greater than one-hail' gallon
I v. ine used for sacramental or religious
purposes only.
Section 800 of ti e code refers to
I the contents of t. -e statement to be
I made by the purchaser under section
I 799.
! "Section 802 requires the statements
| or prescriptions to be tiled in the oli
tice of the c.erk of court, properly
' recorded, etc.
"Section S03 requires retail druggists
to keep a record o. tne ^a!es, etc.
"Sections 804 to 810, inclusi-'. e, regulate
the manufacture and sale of
i wood, denatured, ethyl and methyl aiI
cohol.
"Sections 811 and 812 provide for
the punisi ment for violations of certain
sections of t e dispensary law.
"The authority of wholesale druggists
to sell alcohol to retail druggists
and to public or charitable hospitals,
or to medical or pharmaceutical colleges
was derived from section 795, of
the criminal code of 191z. By reierence
to the 'gallon a month act,' it will
be seen tl at this section was not expressly
exempted from fc'.ie operation
of that law, even though it might have
been the intention to be exempted.
"In my opinion the act as it reads
and appears on its face does not allow
any sales or shipment of alcohol ex
cept as provided in section 799, above
referred to. As before indicated it may
have been t?e intention of the general
assembly to make no changes in the
law in reference to the sale and transportation
of alcohol :for certain purposes,
and the courts in construing this
act may hold that such being the case
and t! e intention of the legislature
that no change .^as really been made in
the law, notwithstanding the fact that
the terms and phraseology of the act
j do change the law in ti e particulars
iiuiea in i."is opinion.
"This is a matter to mv mind of
great importance both to the wholesale
druggists and to the State, and
such being the case I would suggest
that a test case be speedily brought
on this matter before the courts so
that t'.^e terms of the act may be defiI
nitely and judicially construed/'

| George W. Tidvvell has been granted j
\ a new trial br t-'ie supreme court of i
" _. A
j South Carolina. Tidwell was convjci!
ed in Greenvfle county in May. 1914,'
! of manslaughter and was sentenced >
| to serve 12 years in the State peni- !
! tentiarv. .A former governor, on De- j
cember 31, 1914, reduced the sentence !
to seven years. Tidwell has been confined
in tNe'Greenville county jail since
he shot R. Emmet Walker at one of
| the mills near the city of Greenville, j
T -e court held fat much of the tes- j
timony introduced at the trial was "ir- i
relet, ant and incompetent.'' iTihe de-!
j cision was written by Associate Jus- !
tice Gage and concurred in by Chief.
Justice Gary and Associate Justice |
Mtatts. Associate Justices Hydrickand j
Fraser concurred in the lesult. Tid- j
well is a former resident of Augu?ta. j
The trial at Greenville attracted a |
great deal of attention.
"The conviction was unlawful and j
there must be a new trial," says the j
court after reviewing the case and the !
testimony offered at the trial. "T>be j
defendant," says the opinion, " is a!
man past middle life and P.itherto of I
good reputation; the deceased was a
young man in the prime of life and
unmarried and of feigned chastity; the
- - - ...
transaction arose out of tne aauuerous
life of the deceased and the defendant's
young daughter, 17 years of
age, and tf.e vengeance of the father
thereabout."
